Twitter on Wednesday said it will not reverse its decision to ban far-right activist and self-described "proud Islamophobe" Laura Loomer from its platform after her Republican primary win in Florida.
"The account owner... was permanently suspended for repeated violations of the Twitter Rules, and we do not plan to reverse that enforcement action," a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill.
Loomer has courted controversy for years with a series of toxic comments that have led her to be banned from several social media platforms. She's particularly come under scrutiny for a number of blatantly anti-Muslim comments.
After the 2019 mass murder of 51 people in Christchurch, New Zealand, she said on the Telegram messaging ap that "nobody cares about Christchurch. I especially dont.
In 2017, she tweeted "[h]ow many more people need to die before everyone agrees that Islam is cancer & we should never let another Muslim into the civilized world?"
That same year she was banned from Uber after she tweeted that someone needs to create a non Islamic form of @uber or @lyft."

Good, Twitter is verifying their radical Left political stance. I hope it can force a breakup.

She should get an injunction to completely shut down Twitter until a court can decide if this is interference in a federal election. Let’s see if Twitter can survive 2 months without revenue.

Tellin ya all, just give the people a viable alternative to Facebook and they will leave in droves, just like they are leaving Twitter for Parler.

I'm following her on Parler and I rarely use Twitter anymore. Many of those that I followed on Twitter are now on Parler.

Perhaps Twitter traffic shouldn’t be allowed to flow through any taxpayer funded networks, routers, or backbones

Why would Laura Loomer need Twitter?
After getting banned by Twitter, she proceeded to raise huge amounts of money and win her primary against a well established GOPe backed candidate. Getting banned by Twitter is one of the best things that ever happened to her.
Twitter is way overrated, not to mention a far left cesspit.
To: Carl Vehse
She is quite incredible actually I heard her on Doc savages radio program today she defended herself very very well
The reason why they hate her guts and banned her. cause she goes straight after CAIR the terrorist front group. and tge Muslim congresswomen OMAR AND THE OTGERX that hate Israel and hate America and theyve physically attacked her for it
but shes a no nonsense Jewish girl thats taking on the stupid liberal Jews and they hate that as well
GO LAURA GO

She should get an injunction to completely shut down Twitter until a court can decide if this is interference in a federal election. Lets see if Twitter can survive 2 months without revenue.It doesn't really work that way. And even if it did, Twitter would simply ignore it, as they ignored Loomer when she chained herself to the doors at their NYC offices.

I got banned from Twitter and never said anything that controversial. Course I got banned from FR and felt the same.
To: Still Thinking
I think she’s a little too far left for me. Of course Twitter has people like former Stasi agent Anette Kahane making their decisions.
To: yesthatjallen
Twitter needs to be blown-up.

After Republicsns win back the House and Trump is re-elected, count on them coming after twitter.
To: VeniVidiVici
Twitter is a cesspool - if they really were policing their platform, a lot more people would be banned, mostly militant leftists
